Industry insiders believe, Meizu will give a good competition and put a fullstop for Xiaomi's endless sales record.

What to expect from Indian companies:

Fate of Indian company mobile makers:

When Xiaomi entered the Indian smartphone market last year, the local manufacturers faced the heat in terms of sales. They are still trying various strategies to cash in they long lost sales. Recently Micromax launched Yu Yureka in partnership with Cyanogen to meet the sales figures against the China mobile maker.

In the same way, if Meizu enteres the native market this year, Indian manufacturers could face a big blow of attack from the China-made handset brands.

Sales and price of Meizu's smartphones:

Sales and Price:

Meizu smartphones aren't overly priced for their high-end specs, at the same time they also come with premium specs. Meizu are using the same Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset along with better camera features to live up to the likes of high-end brands.Xperia Z3 costs around Rs 44,900 where you can get the same specs as found in a smartphone from Meizu at a lesser cost. Hence, in a market like India with high-end specs + less price, Meizu will definitely win, as Xiaomi already proved what it can do in India.

Meizu's marketing ideas:

Marketing and Promotion

Xiaomi tied up with the Flipkart and launched their smartphones in India, in the same way OnePlus One did it with Amazon. Comparing to Amazon - Flipkart has more marketing strategies, OnePlus One isn't doing as good as the Xiaomi.

Hence, Meizu should come up with interesting promotional ideas if they are going to launch their smartphones in India.
